Drainage & Surface Stabilisation

The RPS range of drainage and surface stablisation products provide practical solutions for areas that are prone to becoming muddy and unusable due to retaining water that just won’t drain away.

Agri-Ground Cell® – installed around a water trough

Agri-Ground Cell®

The surface reinforcement structure that turns bogs holes and high traffic wear spots into stable and level surfaces which require extremely little maintenance.

The RPS Agri-Ground Cell® reinforcement structures create a stable and durable surface suitable for a variety of uses around your farm. The cells can also be used for the construction to collect rainwater and direct water to surface infiltration areas.

Cost Benefits

The regular maintenance of high wear areas including tracks becomes costly & time consuming. An area installed with RPS Agri-Ground Cell® becomes very low maintenance and may only need ’top filling’ every 18 months.

Applications:

Around troughs

Laneways, entrances & exits to feed pads and dairies

Surrounding silage pits

Stock truck & tanker tracks

A substitute to concrete used in other applications

Drainage Cell® – installed at a sporting ground

Drainage Cell®

The modular Drainage Cell® System which effectively removes excess water ensuring the subjective area maintains its functionality.

Ideal for ground stabilization and sub-surface drainage in areas prone to water logging.

The cells retain a small amount of moisture which promotes natural growth of grass and when used in conjunction with synthetic grass it assists in cooling. Driving vehicles onto the cells has no effect on the surface as they have a load bearing in excess of 100t/m2.

Benefits:

Greater load bearing—in excess of 100t/m2

Pervious & free draining surface

Ability to utilize areas that are normally inaccessible

Reduced surface maintenance

Easy to install

System can direct water in water harvesting tanks

Functional Benefits:

The use of Gecko Drainage Cell as an effective drainage medium provides the facility manager with an asset which can be used 365 days per annum. The elimination of the traditional storm water drainage system saves downtime costs to the facility owner and ensures the sporting community maximizes their participation and in turn providing an overall healthy lifestyle.

The cells will allow natural grass to strive as the grass root system remains cool, enhancing growth. Driving vehicles onto the grass has no effect on the protected roots. Aesthetically the product allows the grass to fill in completely creating a lush lawn with an invisible reinforcement structure.

The cells can also be used for the construction to collect rainwater and direct water to surface infiltration areas.

Benefits:

Greater load bearing—in excess of 200t/m2

Pervious & free draining surface

Ability to utilize areas that are normally inaccessible

Reduced surface maintenance

Easy to install

Cost effective in comparison to concrete and asphalt (see following).

Cost Benefits:

The sub-base required for cells is equal to or less than the sub-base required for concrete or bitumen. The elimination of the traditional storm water system required by impermeable car park installations provides an immediate cost saving when installing Gecko Ground Cell® reinforcement structure for the same application.
